Bologna –
Present at the right hand side of the newly Virtus player, Mr. Zanetti wanted to thank the city, the fans and comment in this way on the operation just concluded:
“Thanks to the city of Bologna that follows us with so much enthusiasm and heart. I haven’t gone crazy, our coach would even like to have more players because he says we are short. I had seen Daniel on TV many times, I liked him a lot and I hoped he could come to us. They had contacted him months ago, I am happy that he came to us, let’s take advantage of this situation that unfortunately has been created in Russia. A unique opportunity for the Virtus project. We want to win and continue to win. We have a very strong competitor, we all know that, we must try to counter it with honor. I hope Daniel is happy to be at Virtus, as for Belinelli it is a bit of a homecoming, I am sure he will give his best. I wish him to win a lot with us.
I really wanted Daniel to come to us it seemed – without exaggeration – a dream, Luca Baraldi and Paolo Ronci were very good in this negotiation too.”
